Vlog 52 - Lexus GX470 Ditch Lights

Lasfit has impressed me yet again with their 3" LED Light Pods, which I've installed on the GX as hood mounted ditch lights. The light provided from the yellow flood reflector pattern illuminates the local region around the front and side of the GX where the Lasfit light bar doesn't cover. The two pair together to create an amazing and affordable lighting combination for the GX! Feel free to reach out in the comments section with any questions you have about the install process.

I have the same ones, so good! Great video!

[@Awesomoto]

Hey LOA! Nice! These really are a great addition to any off-road vehicle and the price is just right.

[@awolryan]

Love the drone overhead shot! Great idea! Keep the GX470 content coming bro!

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks Ryan! The drone shots were so fun to shoot and edit. Glad you're liking the content. There are no signs of stopping GX content any time soon!

[@scotttanner9483]

Another High-Quality High-Tech video!!! It looks as good as the videos on Car guy channels done by pros!! Thanks!!

[@EdgarRuiz]

Man, your rig is getting better and better! Loving everything about it. Great job!

[@Awesomoto]

Hey Edgar! Thanks for the support, I appreciate that. I just posted a new video today with even more mods! I plan on lift kit and front bumper next!

[@ecahatch]

another great vid! thank you

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks ecahatch! I appreciate you always reaching out each vlog!

[@lancewilliams9698]

Great vlog as usual. Cheers 🍻

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks Lance!

[@Djtoxxic1974]

Dude those lights are Bad AF!!! Will definitely look into getting some for mine!!!

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks J N! You can't go wrong with adding more lights! lol

[@kaisarsaleem8422]

Love the light pod definitely doing those! I was going to say they have brackets that go under the hood but I think the one you used are better since they don’t obstruct your view! Great stuff as always love the shirt! Maybe good to mention how long the project takes you so we know around how much time we are going to be in trouble with the family, lol! Can’t believe you have over 50 vlogs!

[@Awesomoto]

Hey Kaisar! Good suggestion on the project time estimates. I recently considered putting a difficulty scale for installs as well. Some of the past installs can be time consuming, but this one took about 20 mins per side. I'd say allow 1.5 hours total for the job for buffer with the family lol. I can't believe it's over 50 vlogs either! Although the filming and editing is time consuming, I have such a blast making these videos. I'm just hopeful the continue to help people make decisions on their mods.

[@kaisarsaleem8422]

@@Awesomoto the way your following has grown i think your videos are beyond helpful! Keep them coming, and waiting on a Max comment lol!

[@Awesomoto]

@@kaisarsaleem8422 Good point! Where is the Max comment!? lol

[@vvassall28]

I have the lightbar and looking for brackets to mount it. I bought the magnets, but after seeing your video I didn’t install. Any suggestions on brackets I can use to mount the light to the roof of the GX470?

[@Awesomoto]

Hey Vsquaredfotos, I'm glad you saw the video of what happened when using those magnetic mounts. In my last vlog I finally re-mounted the light bar on the new roof rack, which worked out perfect. If you don't have a roof rack to mount to, I suggest looking to see if anyone makes a universal door frame mount. I just searched and couldn't find many universal options immediately, but there has got to be someone making them. If not...business idea!!! lol

[@Rille1303]

Hi! Just a quick question. Didn’t you change your cup holders to some that have GX written on them and they are open not covered like the OEM one is? I’ve been searching for the video where you briefly mentioned them but no luck can’t find it anymore… If I’m mistaking please let me know. Thanks! 😊

[@Awesomoto]

Hey CyRille. Yeah you might have seen that on another channel as I haven’t done anything to my cup holders on the GX

[@Rille1303]

@@Awesomoto oh ok! Well Thanks for the vids! I got my camera setup grill/trd lights setup & bought the phoenix head unit bc of these vids! Much appreciated looking forward to what’s next…

[@w_dub_wilberforcejr]

I LIKE those!!! how did it affect the door opening?

[@Awesomoto]

Thanks! It does not compromise the mobility of the door in any way...they are an awesome design!

[@jasonmears4393]

Do you know if these brackets would work for 4 inch auxbeam lightcpods?

[@Awesomoto]

Yes, these should be universal fit. If the Auxbeam have a center mount bolt underneath it should work.

[@tonebonejones3886]

U could of have gotten the other bracket that goes under the hood is easier.

[@Awesomoto]

Agreed! I've since installed the Rago Fabrication brackets and the are much easier to install and I prefer the design.

[@wilsonobniala4798]

Bro,can u help me to get the hood bracket for my gx470 like yours..pls

[@Awesomoto]

Hey Wilson! Sorry for the late response. I just did a RagoFab bracket in vlog 60 on my channel so you can see all the install details and the bracket links are in the description of the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4LUqmyiotCWbtk

[@Saint838]

Why choose yellow over white? Is it a cool factor or does the color help on the trail?

[@Awesomoto]

Yes, great question! Yellow is more helpful for seeing through fog and dusty dirt roads when trailing a group offroading.

[@Raponov]

Where are you from?

[@Awesomoto]

I'm down in Florida.

[@stevenmills8269]

"Violent Gentlemen"? Do tell🙂

[@Awesomoto]

LOL! Yeah, this is a clothing company from the ruthless George Parros who was known as an intimidator in the NHL. This is his retirement gig lol.
